Should I Have My Wedding Cake Delivered?

The short answer is yes. Let’s face it—your wedding cake is the centerpiece of your big day. So, why risk having your well-meaning but cake-unaware Uncle Tim deliver it, in his non air conditioned and dusty car? Here’s why you need your professional cake artist to handle the delivery.

It’s Your Wedding Cake

Wedding cakes are delicate works of art—fragile tiers, intricate details, and tiers that could collapse fast. Cake designers know how to transport it safely. Uncle Tim? He might think a “cake box” is a cardboard box from the garage.

Less Stress, More Champagne

Weddings are stressful enough—don’t add “cake transport drama” to the list. I’ve done cake deliveries a hundred times and know how to get your wedding cake to your venue in one piece. You should be spending valuable time with your family (who also probably don’t want the responsibility of wedding cake transport), drinking a few more glasses of champagne because… why not?! It’s your wedding!

Have it Set It Up By Pros

Cake artist don’t just deliver it - we set it up, tweak it, and make sure it’s displayed like the masterpiece it is. No awkward “I hope it’s okay” moments, or “oh gosh, should it be doing that?” panics. I always take a handy bag of spatulas, spare buttercream and artists knives to correct and perfect anything out of place. Your cake will look exactly like you envisioned.

Safety First

Transporting a wedding cake isn’t as simple as plonking it on the backseat. Your guests will be eating this cake after all, so we need to make sure that we’re following all UK Health & Safety Food Laws from the moment we start baking, to stepping back and admiring your wedding cake on it’s display. It requires proper handling, temperature control, and a lot of care, as well as the equipment and expertise to get it there safely - no melty or unhygienic disasters.

Conclusion

Your wedding day is about magic, not cake catastrophes. Let me handle the delivery and set-up so you can focus on sipping champagne and making memories—not worrying about whether your cake made it in one piece. It’s taken days of work to have it ready for delivery, let’s not spoil it in the last few hours!
